You think? Apple and services haven’t been a very good mariage historically.. remember .mac, MobileMe..

Not again Apple.. still hate the MobileMe troubles where I lost all my mail and calendar data..

I've used Apple cloud services since 2001 (19 years), and have never lost any mail, contacts or calendar data through all of those those transitions.

There is something called user responsibility, too. Sure seems like you're letting the past cloud your view of iCloud. It's excellent!

finally they admit they have a problem

Why are you sharing a screenshot of a message from nearly 400 days ago??

Just search ‘mobileme lost mail’ in The Apple forum.. that’s no n=1. It was a faulty system, later admitted by Apple and discontinued (2011 in Beta) because of bad rep, not bad press..

Yeah, only a $50B+ business with 65% margins with double digit growth.

People seem to use them...that's for sure. I guess everyone just grudgingly uses and hates them.
